Eye Glasses & Contact Lenses

The Comprehensive Eye Exam

Your eye doctor will begin by assessing your overall eye health and vision. This includes discussing your health history and performing tests for focusing, depth perception, color vision, and pupil response. They will also check for glaucoma, examine your retina and optic nerve, and determine if contact lenses can improve your vision.

Measuring Your Eye Surface

Precise measurements are essential for a proper fit. Using a keratometer, your doctor will measure the curvature of your cornea. The size of your pupil will be measured with a card or ruler to ensure the best match.

Final Steps and Fitting for Contact Lenses​​​​​​​

Tear Film Evaluation and Fitting Process

If you have dry eyes, your doctor may perform a tear film evaluation to see if contact lenses are suitable for you. Some newer lenses can help with dry eyes by delivering moisture.

Next, precise measurements of your cornea and pupil are taken. A trial pair of contact lenses will then be fitted to ensure proper alignment and movement. If everything looks good, a final prescription check is done.

You’ll wear the trial lenses for a week, then return for a follow-up to confirm they fit well and meet your vision needs. After this, you can order your supply. Throughout the process, your optometrist will guide you and answer any questions, ensuring you are comfortable with your new lenses.
